Welcome to VELOCIPEDE SALON.
VSalon currently allows unregistered guests to view the forum. If you want to participate - and we hope you do - please sign up and wait for one of our good looking moderators to approve. You do not need an invite! Please be aware when you request membership we ask for a real name with contact info. Screen names and cryptic email addresses are okay, but no one is accepted in the community without real life/real world credentials.
A moderator will contact you, just say hi and and how you found us. We'll wait to hear back from you.
Please note: This is a work place friendly forum and only ask you honor this and help keep the discussions lively.
Dear friends, you are here because you found this or someone told you about this place. This really is a salon. It says so right here, go ahead and look!!! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Salon_(gathering). This Salon is where bicycle artisans, industry types, racers, cyclists, bicyclists and their friends exchange in a comfortable setting. We bring some history but none of the bags with us from our former fav. places to hangout. Nuff said. There are ground rules for everyone to follow, most are explained in the agreement (below). This Salon is ment to remain work place friendly. Don't ask us what the color of the kit is. This will cause immdeiate removal from the Salon!!! Sorry, we voted and that's the way it is.
This Salon is operated by volunteers who donate lots of hard work, insight and generosity. Feed the moderators beers and give lots of karma, they are "easy"...I made sure of that. :)
Warm Regards, Too Tall and our handsome staff of volunteers

Re: Completing The Cycle atmo -

If it weren't for fat, rich, old men regularly dropping 15K on bikes that go unridden, the shit would never drop down into my price range. It's good news for everybody. They bought a bike, not a place to sit on my wheel. Come to think of it, I could probably sell that too.

Got some cash
Bought some wheels
Took it out
'Cross the fields
Lost Control
Hit a wall
But we're alright

Re: Completing The Cycle atmo -

My feeling is that these people are actually under-marketed. They get their suits and shirts handmade. Their shoes handmade. You should see the stuff they put in their houses. Hell, they have $10K++ ticking away on their wrists. There is no reason any of the $185K crowd should be buying a Trek Madone whatsit. Go get 'em.
